2012 Audi S5 3.0L Petrol · LA61 EXM

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass in the August 2025 test at 69,970 miles with zero defects recorded. This recent success follows a clear pattern of rectification, as the recurring windscreen chip advisory noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 was absent from the 2024 and 2025 records. The current MOT remains valid for a few more months, and the mechanical integrity appears sound with no structural or component failures flagged in the last two inspections. Mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent and low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 to 5,000 miles annually. The record shows steady progression from 52,455 miles in August 2021 to 69,970 miles by August 2025, indicating regular use rather than long periods of inactivity or odometer tampering. There are no significant gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, reinforcing the reliability of the documented history. Although the history is clean, a physical inspection should verify the condition of the windscreen to ensure the previous chip was repaired professionally without optical distortion. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should check for perished rubber components such as tyres, drive belts, and coolant hoses which can degrade with age rather than use. Fluid degradation is also a concern on older, low-mileage cars, so an oil analysis and check of brake fluid condition would be prudent.
